Fishing for Fun this Summer? Try the River Center Fishing Clinic 27!

The River Center Fishing Clinic will be led by River Center educator Nicole Sciandra, a native of South Florida and expert in fishing Florida waters.

JUPITER - The River Center has partnered with Fishing Headquarters of Jupiter and "Fish Rules" App for a kids fishing clinic on July 27 at Dubois Park from 11 am to 2pm.

The event begins with an interactive lesson where kids will be taught fishing fundamentals such as knots, lures and baits; fish identification and regulations; casting; fishing safety; an overview of different fishing equipment; and much more. Kids will then have the opportunity to try out their newly learned skills and knowledge with clinic instructors by casting their lines off the seawall into the Jupiter Inlet. Parents are encouraged to attend, but in order to participate they must have a valid Florida fishing license. Children need to bring water, sunscreen and wear outdoor clothing.

The River Center Fishing Clinic will be led by River Center educator Nicole Sciandra, a native of South Florida and expert in fishing Florida waters. The goal of the clinic is to acquaint kids with different types of fishing experiences and to foster an understanding and appreciate for our local aquatic treasures.

Participants must be between the ages of 5-15. The cost to attend is $10 per child and includes equipment which will be provided by Fishing Headquarters. Parents must pre-register by calling the River Center and are encouraged to pay over the phone, as credit cards cannot be run at the site on the day of the clinic.
